A judge on Thursday ordered CAA co-founder Michael Ovitz to complete his deposition in the Julia Ormond sexual assault lawsuit, months after storming out when he was asked about Jeffrey Epstein.

Ormond is suing CAA for arranging a meeting for her with Harvey Weinstein in December 1995, after which Weinstein allegedly sexually assaulted her. Ovitz had already left the agency at that point, but Ormond’s lawyers have sought to question him about the agency’s relationship with Weinstein and about how it handled sexual misconduct issues.
